This is Nvidia doing this, right? I don’t see why they wouldn’t try and improve the graphics in games when using their graphics cards. DLSS has been criticized as it’s continued to improve. If people use it it’s because they prefer the graphics with the minimal impact on FPS.

Again, I don’t think I’ve commented on Ithe impact on artists. Since you insist, I’ll comment on it. Y’all raise interesting points. I’m not sure what’s in the best interest for super stressed, underpaid, and underappreciated game developers. If this leads to them selling more games because they can run on cheaper hardware then maybe it’s great. If it completely distorts some face they worked really hard on then maybe that sucks.

That said, I’m just not gonna pretend the one on the right doesn’t look more realistic and I wanted to disrupt the echoes

I don’t recall even mentioning the “artist’s intent” ya weirdo. lol

Such an odd way of communicating and interpreting others.

Lmao. I definitely said that.

I too imagine people saying things I disagree with so I can stay upset and disagreeable

Scary Movie 6 is coming out?! You just made my day!

Yea it looks way better on the right. lol. People just wanna be mad. Just assume they’re bots and ignore the chirping

Ok that makes a lot of sense. It definitely seems like it’s more for them than it is for the user’s “convenience”

Yeah what the hell is up with that one? Seems so sketchy

Anyone else wondering if this was a distraction from the other polymarket news related to Iran?

Did they mention race at all? I might’ve missed it. Bet that would yield more “surprising” results

What did Carter do?

We should really be discussing ways to take over the party, like the tea party did. I’ve been wondering why I’m so reluctant to register as a Democrat yet wanting to feel like a part of it I want to bend to my will

I thought it was an incel. lol

If I see a border patrol officer, I’m treating them like absolute shit.

I once was a bit dismissive/rude to a friend of a cousin when I learned he had just moved to SoCal to work as border patrol. Initially, I thought it would be cool to make a new friend. I legit couldn’t help it. Come to find out a couple years later that he quit because he couldn’t handle the cruelty/racism. I somewhat regret not being a bit more friendly to him, especially considering he was one of the good ones (the ones that leave). If it were today, I’d maybe just be more clear in my reason for being rude. Communication and whatnot

In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. As a descriptor term, reactionary derives from the ideological context of the left–right political spectrum. As an adjective, the word reactionary describes points of view and policies meant to restore a status quo ante.

As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics; the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present. In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

Reactionary ideologies can be radical in the sense of political extremism in service to re-establishing past conditions. To some writers, the term reactionary carries negative connotations—Peter King observed that it is “an unsought-for label, used as a torment rather than a badge of honor.”

Agreed 💯

What do you mean don’t blame the brown people for White America’s problems/identity crisis?

Can you clarify? You’re saying you don’t currently want to try TT because you don’t think it’s existed long enough, and/or that you didn’t try it before because you didn’t think it would last that long?

Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. “It’s just a fad”, “it won’t go anywhere/be useful/last long”.

I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn’t controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it’s not important?

That’s fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They’re not coming for “us” at least!

I love supporting protests and am quick to point out how they can shift attitudes (e.g. occupy) but I would struggle to say one positive result from the pussy hat protest. Can you help me there?

If I had to guess, I would say it helped him with his base more than hurt him or helped the opposition/our side rally support.

The protests against his abusive anti-protest tactics were a lot more successful in rallying support on our side, for example. Didn’t last more than a couple months, but still

Anyone else feel like millennials/xoomers that refuse to use Tiktok are as out of touch as boomers that refused to try using the Internet? The sound almost exactly the same

I would hate to be that stubborn
